THE NEED FOR BIBLICAL AUTHORITY
*Judges 21:25*
*Introduction*: The Book of Judges presents a classic illustration of the chaos and confusion which results from the lack of a recognized standard of authority.
* I.
Possible Standards of Authority*
A.
Subjective */experience/* (Prov.14:12)
B.
Human */reasoning/* ("I don't see. .
.";
Mt. 16:8)
C.
Family */tradition/* (Luke 14:26)
D.
Will of the */majority/* (Matt.
7:13,14)
E.
*/Conscience/* (Acts 23:1)
F.
*/Emotions/* or feelings (Gen.
37:33-35)
G.
Philosophy of the */world/* (1 Cor.
1:26 ff.)
H.
*/Creeds/* of men (Rev.
22:18,19)
I.
Latter-day */revelations/* (Gal.
1:6-9)
* II.
The Source of All Authority*
A.
John 16:13-15
1.
All authority resides in */God/*.
2.
God has given all authority to */Christ/* (cf.
Matt.
28:18).
3.
The */Holy Spirit/* has taken the things of Christ and revealed them to the apostles.
4.
The */apostles/* have recorded the things revealed by the Spirit (1 Cor.
2:6-13).
5.
When we read their */words/*, we can understand the will of God! (Eph.
3:3-7).
B.
The */Bible/* is the product of these inspired men (2 Pet.
2:20,21; 3:16).
*Conclusion*: Authority in religion is one of the very basic questions that must be settled.
When Scripture is recognized as the ultimate standard of authority, then there is a foundation for unity in work and in worship!
